Secrets of success
Cost cutting has been seen as the secret to low-cost carriers’ success, but perhaps it should be seen more as ‘cost shifting’; it’s now passengers who do the bookings online and print out the details, rather than airline staff. The same work is being done, but now it’s the passenger doing it. Jetstar is going a step further in this ‘cost-shifting’ exercise, trying to achieve 100 per cent self-service in domestic Australian and New Zealand airports. Its view is it’s a way for passengers to gain control of the travel experience.
“Passenger anxiety levels have actually been measured, and the key anxiety point for travellers is the airport experience,” explains Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan. “Anxiety levels spike when people get close to check-in and boarding. We thought that with technology there has to be ways to reinvent the antiquated process.”
This has led to pioneering SMS technology, which sends boarding passes to mobile phones. Customers’ phones are then scanned at the boarding gate where the boarding docket is printed.
This spirit of innovation has assisted in the rise of the low-cost carrier. “Low-cost carriers are not afraid of change. It’s part of our tenet … we’re comfortable with challenging the norm,” says Buchanan. “We have a different relationship with our customers. A lot of communication is direct and online and that enables a different dialogue between the customer and airline.”
He believes budget airline travellers are also a lot more forgiving if the airline gets it wrong. “We have to be humble, admit it hasn’t worked and move on,” he says. However a white paper, published in December, reveals the Australian government plans to step up its supervision of airlines following a surge in customer complaints.
Jetstar has taken a front-foot approach to this, launching a customer charter, called the Jetstar Customer Guarantee, where it promises to compensate customers if they don’t get what they paid for. “We are going to put our money where our mouth is and going to back it up with self-imposed financial penalties,” says Buchanan.
The passenger travel experience has been on his agenda since he became Jetstar’s CEO in 2008. Response time to complaints has gone from 90 days to 10 and front-line staff have been trained and empowered to deal with problems as they arise rather than passing them up the chain of command.
“It’s not about frills, it’s about hassle-free travel for the customer. For our staff, it’s about being friendly, being empathetic, taking any anxiety out of travelling with us, and that doesn’t cost money,” he says.
Bruce Buchanan – Out of hours
What do you do for leisure?
"I try to spend as much free time as I can with my kids, exploring exciting new places."
What's your philosophy?
"For me it's about enjoyment. You never know when your last moment's going to be, so make sure you get the most out of life and live it to its fullest."
